Star Wars should learn from Andor and stop making Disney Plus shows that are so obsessed with the Jedi (www.yahoo.com)

Star Wars Disney Plus shows should move away from Jedi-centric stories and explore other aspects of the Star Wars universe
Andor is a successful example of a Star Wars show without Jedi, focusing on the Empire's control and morally gray characters
Suggestions for new Star Wars show ideas include Pod Racing, Jawa Storage Wars, and One Man and His Droid, among others

Why not just watch one of the many other options without Jedi?

The rule of two is hardly integral, anyways. There were 3 for most of the prequel trilogy time frame and Vader took on several apprentices between ep 3 and 4. It was 2 as far as I know during the OT but then the sequels brought it back to 3.

And Sideous adopted the rule of one (where he can train whoever he wants but not with the intent of replacing him because he planned on living forever using force ghost and clones so he'd always have a body) from the end of ep 1 onwards.

I just speak for myself, but star wars without force users just isn't that interesting to me.
